TOUCH UI - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

has anyone started work on getting the new HTC touch UI onto othere devices?

Hope so... I also want it...

yes I'm waiting too.
TouchFLO - if we can take this option to our model, that's cool.
and I thought someboy will sone this job vry soon.

Simple example
I've made a simple first version of the HCT Touch UI, based on one or two pictures I saw on the internet.
I made it in Wisbar Advance Desktop, just a fix docking background for the color and lines and then placed 6 few icons on it...

It is a start. Also a Comm Manager has been done in this format.
It can be downloaded elsewhere if you google or you can find it in the WM6-Hermes forum.

Hi!
Here you can see some interesting videos of the gui, quite interesting: http://www.theunwired.net/index.php?itemid=3899
Is there any shipped devices with this functionality on the market yet?
Regards,
PK

there is a software called SPB mobile shell which is almost similar to this

there's lots of software which can do this (like WAD). but the looks we have to make ourselves. problem is there are not that much pictures yet of the HTC Touch...

I'd love to have Touch UI working on my Artemis, and then probably on future HTC devices as well.

FlowFX by Aspecto Software similar to TouchFLO on HTC Touch?!

Hello,
Since I'm not experienced with programming for windows mobile I have big wish on you guys.
I love the idea/technic how the GUI on HTC Touch works and hope it will be possible on my HTC Hermes one day too.
When I installed the newest version of WiFiFoFum I realized a great flipping effect between pages in this tool. Now I have even seen that the author of this program gives away the source code (http://www.aspecto-software.com/rw/applications/developer/flowfx/index.html).
Hope somebody can make us Cube GUI for any windows mobile device (at least for HTC Hermes )
your link is broken, the link is: http://www.aspecto-software.com/rw/applications/developer/flowfx/index.html
But i second this idea, i downloaded the demo, SOOO COOL tho i want it for the herald
thanks for the info. I've updated the link.
Yea this would be too cool!
could this transition be used perhaps with wisbar to go between desktop screens?
that would be pretty hot...
ok soooooo
wife wants to know how much I have to donate to get this to flip pictures instead of forms?
This would be perfect for rlToday and cLaunch.

Samsung i900 + HTC Diamond Theme?

Are there any HTC Diamond themes out there that are working with the 400x240 resolution of the Samsung i900?
None at all?
I don't Believe the Omnia is even out yet. At least its not in North America. Wait a little longer and I'm sure someone will start on one. But its real hard to make something functional from just a few screenshots.
Some HTC Diamond Skins for Omnia Pls...
Hey guys, just got my Samsung Omnia i900 last week and that is how long I've been searching for HTC Diamond Skins for my phone...so far no luck. Every skin that I transfer to my phone? The Mobile Shell hanged without fail. It would certainly be great if somebody can come up with some cool HTC Diamond Skins for Samsung Omnia...dying to lay my hands on some cool skins....

yeah man..ive been using my Omnia for abt a month already and all i can use is the standard SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 software..
It would be ****in' cool if someone could create a HTC mobile shell theme specifically for Omnia's screen size and resolution..
You could try Throttle Launcher with TouchFLo3d. You will need to set the height of Today plugin manually in Throttle Config, sorry I don't have mine installed at the moment I just flashed to H1 but just play with the value til you get it right. Also uncheck full height, and uncheck hide softkeys. If you don't do this there are problem with the bottom navigation bar hiding behind the soft keys after rotate from landscape.
Join the club, nothing exists for a WVGA screen yet either (Xperia), though can't wait, they are going to look great!
Strange.....
I Have a Diamond and i love the Omnia Theme
yet people with Omnia love the diamond skin......
Strange Indeed

Sorry for being thick, but how do you install the theme? I have unzipped the file and its given me a shed load of files.
Thanking you in advance
More skin here:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PU2LZ60P
Credits goes to Mikibest.
To install the theme, simply copy all file in the skin directory and paste in the same directory of Spb mobile shell in the device, then soft reset.
Enjoy it and sorry for my poor English.

open ur hp folder using activesync.then go to program files.look for the spb mobile shell folder.then copy and paste the load of files u unzipped and replace it with the ones inside the folder..then do soft reset
hope u understand..
on Modaco there is a "Mikibest" pack version 1.1 (whatever that means).
It has some mort scripts that allow you to switch between one of several different skins and rapidly test them out without a soft reset.
All Omni Size.
I have yet to find a use for the Samsung Widgets. Aside from the notifier and the clock, they are pretty much useless. I had been using Samsung home 2 (which is similar to HTC Home)
Most of the functionality of Mobile Shell is built into the Omnia with the Samsung today plugin, a weather plugin and their main menu, dialer, and contacts etc.
My only gripe is the lack of 3G in north America and the fact that it has fewer buttons than the Kaiser and Titan.
I like the one screen keyboard. Together with the G sensor and haptic feedback, I prefer it to my kaiser keyboard.

May i just ask, how do i install this theme on my omnia, i'm new to this and i'm not quite sure.

The Russians are testing SPB Mobile Shell 3.0

This is RC. Screenshots
Actually, the entire world is. It was leaked to the public.
I saw a link of an all black theme for it, now I can't find it.
cool but nomore widgets?
we all are trying it lol. and yes there still is widgets.
probs so far.
- it conficts with touchflo 3d
- no box to deselect in home plugin menu
- finger scrolling working ok but could be a lot better
- no panel included in the cab install like there weather and travel software (i have a x1)
- uses a lot of wm stuff instead of there own software (eg, clock, sms, alarms, calender etc). not really a prob but would have prefered if they used the own software (jaze it up a little.

there is a section in the program/settings menu called themes, black theme is in there but looks the same as having no theme
Installed this morning, loving it, does gradually hog the resources the more you do, but I guess the official version will be sorted, will definitely buy this, if there is only one bit of software you buy for your PPC, this is it..10 out of 10 from me.
Beats TF3D and SPB mobile shell 2 hands down.
to each their own, i installed the 'trial' and have to say that i got very disappointed; i used the v2 for a long time before i got my xperia and i loved it; now that i've seen the v3 it's uglier and less intuitive, i say no to that and stick to my tf3d which in general is also much smoother than this;
yark and blah...

SPB Mobile Shell 3

Hi Guys,
I tried to install SPB Mobile Shell 3 (3.0.0 build 6363), but it failed
Anyone tried it yet, or got an other version to work.
They got it 2 work on an Touch HD > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7fBRUwOYUM
And it looks cool and I really want it. Cause I don't like Touch Flow Manilla.
Hi
In my Phone is working just fine
It's a really good software, I'm waiting for the final release to buy it.
I have it and absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
Since I don't know how to flash to the HARDCPL, I figured this is the best way to make the phone look nice
Hi,
I think the commercial version of SPB Mobile shell 3 is available from today (21st April).
I just have a question for the SPB Mobile shell users (any version) -
After installing this, do we have the option to switch back to the original HTC touchflo screen (Manila 2D)? Not just by uninstalling mobile shell, but an option in the home screen selector settings to switch back and forth between touchflo and mobile shell?
I have SPM Mobile Shell 3 and it rocks!
Dunno if switching from TF2D to MS3, and vice versa, is possible.. I didn't bother testing....

Izzyzc, will it be possible for you to check it for me??
prob is that touchflow replaces the lower left softkey to camera, but of course you can add the spb shell to the start menü and switch fast.
I have installed spb ms 3 in my xperia and I can say,is really nice,I love it, touch flows and other iphone similars you can´t compare with this,is the best!!!

SPB mb 3 is aviable in handango.com I´m allready buy them for my xperia,is amazing!!!!
Great stuff
I'm using version 3 for a week now and I love it!
I think it's the best Shell for Windows Mobile, don't you?
What if Microsoft let SPB write the entire winMo UI?
You know, things like the settings dialogs, the annoying messageboxes, that kind of stuff.
This way we can all enjoy a finger friendly UI and also - great performance.
(this is why I think it's better than the TouchFlo by the way)
some one please create a megaupload link
please can´t download to slow .... error
many thanks

Oh sorry... I've already flashed my Jade with a lite ROM... No more TF2D!
Anyway, SPB MS3 is officially out! Check out SPB's website...
Love SPB Mobile Shell 3
I have installed it on my HTC Touch Pro and I LOVE IT!!! I was able to get it for free since I had just purchased the last version less than 90 days ago and I actually prefer it over TF3D and I am definitely loving the Lifestyle layouts and the way you can slide between the 3 panels. So to me it is a keeper. I think they did an execellent job
The trial is working great for me. I already had version 2, but it had bugs on my Jade so I didn't use it. I will test 3 for a couple of days and assuming it doesn't do anything silly I will definitely be buying it, it blows Touchflo out of the water.

Hi all.
Just letting everyone know (maybe you already know) that there is a 20 page + thread in Development & Hacking on Spb Mobile Shell 3.0:
xda-developers > General discussion > Development and Hacking
SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 - The Features....
I suggest where possible we try and share experiences on the one thread so that all valuable feedback can be found in the same location?
Mattster.
Little update:
I found downloaded and installed 3.0.0 Build 6411 and it works like a charm.
ya, my jade runs smooth on Build 6411 too...

[Q] Hero with Windows Mobile 6.5

I have a G3 Hero from china which have windows mobile 6.5.
Seems to work
I miss the Touch Flo UI. Its a HVGA screen.
Is it possible to run some cab to have a touch flo?
erm could you share a backup or something?`Oo
Are you sure it`s not just a chinese clone?
Hero
yes its something from china- but seems to be the same device (also htc sync contains fitting driver)
Afaik, this is a fake, as there have been a few similar posts here about these devices and how to do a hard reset when they crash.
But to the best of my knowledge, these are pretty much eschewed by devs, and I don't think touchflo is as simple as a cab to install.
but why in the hell would someone have WM6.5 instead of any other OS ???
a fake? my post? my device?
I have it - i use it.- it works- Touch flo is nothing else the a shell ala spbmobile shell (which works perfect). I already installed two T3DF's which runs in general but doesnt shows up the right ui. Do you thing HTC can change an 3rd party os?
Anyway- I believe key points for shell and working is OS (6.5) processor (Qualcomm /arm) and screen resolution HVGA . If that fits- I see no reason why not.
But back to my question. Who have an idea which of the "hundrets" which are out there could be the working one.
You could download an All In One cab for TF2D, and skin that. I am not so sure for TF3d though. You'd need to change the xml file(s) and resize all the images, unless of course, you manage to find one already done.
After all this is done, there is still no guarantee that it will work. Afterall, TouchFlo is for HTC devices and is HTC Inellectual property. I think they must be pretty annoyed that it has been ripped and thrown on to some China Phones, and also is able to be run on numberous samsung phones etc.

You might get on better over in the winmo forums, as they will be more experienced in this stuff.
